Our goldfish Ferdo passed away last night. I've noticed yesterday morning that he (I'm referring in masculine because of his name) wasn't behaving as usual. He had trouble breathing so I changed his water adding in some colloidal silver as I was often doing when he looked sick or in trouble and usually things would improve in few hours. This time I was able to notice discoloration on his gills, which I didn't ever noticed so far, so I've even put a few grains of sea salt in the water assuming he got some parasitic or bacterial infection. Unfortunately with no success. Thing is that, although it was just a fish, whole family was very found of him. It was brought as present for our first marriage anniversary back in 2000. and (I just can't relate to him as it) stayed with us for almost whole 15 years! Overlooking our kitchen and dining table from his glass bowl he had always gained attention from guests and relatives in visit, radiant in colour and with big fancy tail fin he had looked at his sourounding with great interest, especially when someone was around. His last moments were tough while he was fighting to breathe and it was hard to see him suffer and getting weaker by the hour. I hope that he did his transition well. On the other hand I hope that he has found a good environment in our family to acquire new knowledge and thus making a new step in existence. If that's the case then I'm happy for him.
Anyway, we will miss him!
